Cittadella was founded in 1973, after the merger of U.S. Cittadellense and A.S. Olympia. The club spent most of its first years in amateur football, and then professional football at Serie C2 and Serie C1 ranks.
Stadio Pier Cesare Tombolato is a multi-use stadium in Cittadella, Italy. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of A.S. Cittadella. The stadium holds 7,623.
For the 2008-09 season, there're projects to boost the capacity of the stadium to 7,500, in order to let A.S. Cittadella play in their home town, though it will need a dispensation from the FIGC, that requires a stadium of at least 10,000 seats for Serie B. The end of the expansion is scheduled for the end of October 2008 and in the meanwhile Cittadella will play in Stadio Omobono Tenni in Treviso, about 40km away. The first game in the renovated stadium has been against A.C. Ancona on October 29.
